Foster Bros. pron

I saw someone on KF posted this link to some (I'm assuming) Russian website with some great old Foster Bros. knives. http://www.cookingknife.ru/iView.aspx?id=38
I happen to have one of these chef knives in my possession from Son for PIF.
Hope this link is ok with the mods.
Maybe I can ask Marko if he knows anything about this site.

I wonder when they quit making knives with the Foster Brothers stamp? Back in the 1980's Columbia Cutlery sent me a large catalog with both their own line and a full range of "Foster Brothers" stamped blades. I think it is buried someplace out in the old catalogs I store up in the haymount of the barn. Not sure they were actually making knives or just selling contract made cutlery with their logo on them.

Love them!

If it is them I am guilty. Had some custom pins made over 3 years ago with the Lone Star.....thought it was an original idea. And then I thought the same thing about stabilized-epoxy filled Cholla cactus.
